it could be from age, a birth defect, or from head trauma. She definitely should be under a vet's care, they often can be stopped with proper medication. If it's age-related it still may be helped with medication, but either way, she should see a vet before they progress to being a lot worse.

Hi. Are you sure they are seizures? What do they look like, how often do they happen, and how long have they been going on? How does it impact lily rose's eating/drinking/litter box usage? How is lily rose's health otherwise?

Yes please give us a little more..... you might research it on the internet and see what is recommended. There may be even supplements that would help. It would also help to know if she has had them all her life or just recently. Are they mild or catastrophic?

There may be a low cost vet clinic your mom could take the ca to. Could a neighbor or relative help your mom get to a vet? Is there any transportation services for seniors and the disabled in your mom's area? Your mom could also look into a vet who does house calls and work out a payment plan. Could you help your mom with vet bills?

she shakes really bad and runs into objects during the seizures . but once she is ok she talks to everyone in the house telling them about her little fits .... her overall health is good and her fur is healthy too . my mom takes good care of my baby girl for me
